Publications

Briggs' articles on torture, the crisis in higher education, and the biopolitics of adoption have been published in esteemed journals such as American Quarterly, the International Feminist Journal of Politics, Feminist Studies, Radical History Review, American Indian Quarterly, and Scripta Nova (Barcelona). Briggs serves as a book review editor for American Quarterly and is on the editorial committee of the University of California Press' American Crossroads Series and the Advisory Board of the University of California Press' Reproductive Justice Series. [21]

She has authored three books and co-edited one collection of essays, and has contributed chapters presenting original research in numerous edited volumes, including, most recently, Lori Reed and Paula Saukko's Governing the Female Body (SUNY Press 2010), Eileen Boris and Rhacel Salazar Parreñas' Intimate Labors: Cultures, Technologies, and the Politics of Care (Stanford University Press 2010), and Ann Laura Stoler's Haunted by Empire: Geographies of Intimacy in North American Empire (Duke University Press 2006). She reviewed the state of the field of gender studies in Vicki Ruiz, Eileen Boris, and Jay Kleinberg’s The Practice of U.S. Women's History: Narratives, Intersections, and Dialogues (Rutgers 2007) and contributed the accompanying article on the keyword “Science” in the second edition of Keywords for American Cultural Studies (NYU Press 2007). [22]

In 2009, Briggs and Diana Marre published International Adoption: Global Inequalities and the Circulation of Children (NYU Press), a collection of critical essays that defines reproduction in its relation to law and family and highlights perspectives from both sending and receiving countries. This collection is "one of the first anthologies on international adoption to bring together scholars from different parts of the world." [23] It includes critical examination of adoption in Hawaii, Canada, Sweden, Brazil, Russia, Peru, and Lithuania.

Reproducing Empire: Race, Sex, Science and U.S. Imperialism in Puerto Rico (2002)

Briggs' first book Reproducing Empire: Race, Sex, Science and U.S. Imperialism in Puerto Rico (University of California Press 2002) looks at the origins of modern globalization through an analysis of the relationship between the US and Puerto Rico. [24] Specifically, the book addresses two key questions: How has Puerto Rican difference been produced, and how has the US role on the island been denied? In doing so, it examines "everyday life practices, ideological constructs, and government programs associated with family reproduction, marital strategies, sexuality, and the use (and abuse) of women`s bodies." [25] The book has been called "a landmark work for Puerto Rican studies" [24] and a "significant work that makes an important contribution to American and Latin American Studies, politics, history, and gender studies" by creating a "new framework" for thinking about the relationship of race, gender, reproduction, and science to larger processes of colonialism and globalization. [26]

Somebody's Children: The Politics of Transnational and Transracial Adoption (2012)

Briggs' second book Somebody's Children: The Politics of Transnational and Transracial Adoption (Duke University Press 2012) won the 2013 James A. Rawley Prize from the Organization of American Historians for best book on the history of US race relations and has been described as making a "timely intervention into the politics of adoption today" by presenting an analysis of reproductive politics through the lens of US foreign policy. [27] This interdisciplinary project is divided into three sections: the first examines adoption in the US, with a focus on African American, Native, and poor mothers and families; the second looks at transnational adoption in Latin America against a background of US intervention; and the third looks at contemporary reproductive politics, with a focus on immigrant mothers and gay and lesbian adoptive parents. As such, it situates the phenomenon of adoption within complex power dynamics and legacies of violence. [28] Historian Rickie Solinger notes that Briggs is charting new directions for the field of reproductive politics and has cited this book as "among books that have changed the way I understand the histories of reproductive politics." [1] Sara Dorow writes that "by viewing political history through the lens of adoption, Somebody’s Children turns conventional methodologies of adoption inside out" and "makes a significant contribution to a growing body of scholarship that recognizes that the story of struggles over kinship is also the story of institutional and international configurations of power and of raced, classed, and gendered productions of subjectivity." [3] Somebody's Children has been included on numerous syllabi for courses in reproductive politics and women and globalization. The book originally grew out of Briggs' own experience adopting a child through the US foster care system. [28] In addition to the book, Briggs also has a blog titled Somebody`s Children.

How All Politics Became Reproductive Politics: From Welfare Reform to Foreclosure to Trump (2017)

Briggs' third book How All Politics Became Reproductive Politics: From Welfare Reform to Foreclosure to Trump (University of California Press 2017) presents "a critical and timely analysis for all reproductive justice activists and scholars." [29] The book centers around the relationship of reproductive politics to policy and public discourse within the last few decades, arguing that "what happens in our public policy is living also in our households." [30] Briggs writes, “The massive changes in the economy since the late 1970s—stagnant real wages, shrinking government support for everything from schools to roads to welfare, ‘personal responsibility’ and ‘moral hazard’ as the reasons for vast public policy changes—were driven in significant part through a demonization of the reproductive labor of people understood to be women, particularly women of color, and all people who do care work." [2] By drawing connections between, among other things, the rise of neoliberalism and shifting discourses surrounding race and immigration, the regulatory function of reproductive technologies, and the cultural phenomena of welfare reform, gay marriage, and the subprime mortgage crisis, Briggs analyzes the factors that led to the Trump presidency and the current socio-economic state of the US. [2] Rickie Solinger describes Briggs as "one of our most important thinkers and writers on the subject of reproductive politics" and writes that, "In this book, as in her previous work, Briggs offers us startlingly new ways of thinking about fundamental matters, while relying on a logic that makes her arguments feel utterly clear and correct." [31] The book has been reviewed on the Times Higher Education blog [32] and featured on The Electorette podcast and "Against the Grain" radio program. [33] [34]

Awards

Briggs was awarded the 2002 Constance Rourke Prize for her article "The Race of Hysteria: ‘Overcivilization’ and the ‘Savage’ Woman in Late Nineteenth-Century Obstetrics and Gynecology,” published in the June 2000 issue of American Quarterly. [35] [36] In 2007, she was the recipient of the Comparative Ethnic Studies Prize from the American Studies Association, and, in 2009, Briggs received the University of Arizona Magellan Circle Award for Excellence in Graduate Teaching [37] and the University of Arizona Magellan Circle Faculty Award for Research. The following year she received an ABOR Learner-Centered Education Grant to develop a library of online course materials for gender and women's studies. [38]

Related Research Articles

Women's studies is an academic field that draws on feminist and interdisciplinary methods to place women's lives and experiences at the center of study, while examining social and cultural constructs of gender; systems of privilege and oppression; and the relationships between power and gender as they intersect with other identities and social locations such as race, sexual orientation, socio-economic class, and disability.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Feminist sociology</span> Subdiscipline of sociology

Feminist sociology is an interdisciplinary exploration of gender and power throughout society. Here, it uses conflict theory and theoretical perspectives to observe gender in its relation to power, both at the level of face-to-face interaction and reflexivity within social structures at large. Focuses include sexual orientation, race, economic status, and nationality.

Transnational feminism refers to both a contemporary feminist paradigm and the corresponding activist movement. Both the theories and activist practices are concerned with how globalization and capitalism affect people across nations, races, genders, classes, and sexualities. This movement asks to critique the ideologies of traditional white, classist, western models of feminist practices from an intersectional approach and how these connect with labor, theoretical applications, and analytical practice on a geopolitical scale.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Chicana feminism</span> Sociopolitical movement

Chicana feminism is a sociopolitical movement, theory, and praxis that scrutinizes the historical, cultural, spiritual, educational, and economic intersections impacting Chicanas and the Chicana/o community in the United States. Chicana feminism empowers women to challenge institutionalized social norms and regards anyone a feminist who fights for the end of women's oppression in the community.

Feminist sexology is an offshoot of traditional studies of sexology that focuses on the intersectionality of sex and gender in relation to the sexual lives of women. Sexology has a basis in psychoanalysis, specifically Freudian theory, which played a big role in early sexology. This reactionary field of feminist sexology seeks to be inclusive of experiences of sexuality and break down the problematic ideas that have been expressed by sexology in the past. Feminist sexology shares many principles with the overarching field of sexology; in particular, it does not try to prescribe a certain path or "normality" for women's sexuality, but only observe and note the different and varied ways in which women express their sexuality. It is a young field, but one that is growing rapidly.

White feminism is a term which is used to describe expressions of feminism which are perceived as focusing on white women but are perceived as failing to address the existence of distinct forms of oppression faced by ethnic minority women and women lacking other privileges. The term has been used to label and criticize theories that are perceived as focusing solely on gender-based inequality. Primarily used as a derogatory label, "white feminism" is typically used to reproach a perceived failure to acknowledge and integrate the intersection of other identity attributes into a broader movement which struggles for equality on more than one front. In white feminism, the oppression of women is analyzed through a single-axis framework, consequently erasing the identity and experiences of ethnic minority women the space. The term has also been used to refer to feminist theories perceived to focus more specifically on the experience of white, cisgender, heterosexual, able-bodied women, and in which the experiences of women without these characteristics are excluded or marginalized. This criticism has predominantly been leveled against the first waves of feminism which were seen as centered around the empowerment of white middle-class women in Western societies.
